Moved this posts from another thread about FD 2/35mm >>>>>>>>>



Truly superb. I myself got up at dawn to try to capture the mist in the valley but my shots pale in comparison to yours!

Yes, FL 2.5/35, my mistake.

Great lens, very well built, solid metal, great optics, very sharp, superb vintage colours, very saturated.

Like 1 I've been looking for this lens for some time at a sensible price and today I found one! Looking forward to receiving it. Smile

I've been in love with this lens ever since I bought my first one in 1984. I sold in several years later when I switched systems for a while to Nikon, but I never forgot it. And once I started shooting with Canon FD/FL again, I bought another. I own two lenses faster than my 35mm FL (a pre-AI Nikkor 35/2 and a Vivitar 35/1.9), but it's still my favorite.

Great contrast, even on overcast days, and corner to corner sharpness. What more could one ask for?

Well I haven't used the FL lens but for me wouldn't buy it as I have the FDn 35mm f2.8 and it's a very good lens. It would be interesting if anyone has compared the difference, but I'm guessing that the FDn would be better for flare.
